Overview and Experience
Bushra Siddiq is an experienced development professional and a creative producer who has spent more 15 years working across premium factual, documentary and on some of the UK’s flagship current affairs programmes. She specialises in blending strong factual storytelling with perceptive journalism that often tackles challenging subjects. Bushra says she wants to tell diverse stories that are brave, bold and inspiring; and that great stories brilliantly told are at the heart of everything she does.
Colleagues describe Bushra as a go-to producer particularly on projects requiring sensitivity, intelligence, and a strong, credible pair of hands.
Over the last three years Bushra has used her journalistic skills and instincts to work with several independent production companies to strengthen their premium factual slates and secure documentary commissions both in US and UK. Most recently, Bushra has won several commissions and has worked on a rich range of development projects, including a three-part retrospective boxset series, several current affairs singles, a specialist factual history podcast series, and a highly sensitive historical true crime series.
Bushra divides her time between both development and production and continues to work on a wide range of unscripted television, digital, and podcast projects.
